10 Ways Christians Can Exemplify Faith and Peace during COVID-19 |
|
In just a few short weeks, classification of the coronavirus (COVID-19) escalated from outbreak, to epidemic, to global pandemic; and President Trump declared an official state of emergency for the United States and its citizens. And as anyone reading this knows, the impact of this kind of global crisis extends far beyond the sickness itself.
There is not a person on this earth who hasn't been impacted by the coronavirus, in one way or another, and right now, many people are anxious, on edge, and afraid. Some have even gone to the extreme, bunkering down and "panic purchasing" toilet paper, respiratory masks, and bottled water in preparation for the "end of the world."
Everyone will react to crisis and fear in different ways, but in trying and uncertain times like these, how should Christians respond? When the rest of the world is afraid and loses hope, how can Christians still bring the life and love of Jesus Christ to a sick and dying world?
Here are 10 things Christians can do in faithful response to COVID-19:

4 Habits That Secretly Annoy Your Husband |
|
It's pretty safe to say every wife has habits that annoy her husband… and vice versa.
Living together under the same roof for an extended amount of time can bring out the worst in any of us. After all, familiarity breeds contempt, they say, and after a while just breathing in the same room as your man can cause him to be annoyed if he hasn't eaten, slept, or had his space in a while.
Chances are he's not talking about your behaviors that annoy him. Why would he load that gun? Why would he open that closet door?
But if you could get a glimpse at some of the habits or behaviors you might not even realize you have, wouldn't it be worth it to try to stop doing them and bring a little more peace and a lot more joy back to your relationship?
While writing my book, When a Woman Inspires Her Husband, I interviewed husbands married anywhere from 5 to 50 years to find out what they needed most from their wives, what they loved most about their wives, and what made them roll their internal eyes or want to get some space from their wives.
That last category they really want to talk with you about, but don't how to safely bring it up. Perhaps after reading this list together, and sharing these items with him to see if he agrees, you'll have the opportunity to let him know which habits of his drive you nuts.
(But my guess is he already knows that. It's not as if wives keep those things a secret!)
For the sake of starting a healthy conversation between the two of you--or just giving you a mission to work on in secret--here are 4 habits that most likely secretly annoy your husband:
